This item is a wonderful,original TASS poster, circa 1940-1945. TASS window posters are all original stencil
art, created by many famous Russian artists during hard times to bolster the spirits of the home front. This
poster measures 24x 64 inches,, edges have faults, fold lines, splits along fold line and paper loss; else
in overall fair condition. These posters were printed on low grade paper( which is why there are not many to
be found). If purchased, please be careful when unfolding the poster....

"The TASS Window posters were significant as they were produced from stencils so that they could quickly
respond to the news of the moment as compared to the printed poster. Dozens of prominent Soviet painters,
artists, cartoonists, writers and poets participated in this work which imitated the ROSTA posters of the
Civil War period. They were produced in very limited editions of a maximum of 1500."Dr Derek W Spring
